From Wednesday, passengers in Morocco must expect restrictions on air traffic. The CDT union has called on all airport employees in the North African country to walk out. Higher wages and better working conditions are demanded.

The strike is to be staged at all airports in Morocco over a period of five days. Restrictions in air traffic are to be expected, but it is unclear how many ground workers will actually take part in the walkouts. Travelers should keep an eye on the current status of their booking.

The union accuses the national syndicate of the Moroccan airport authority of being too slow or not fulfilling the commitments it has made towards the workers. Another criticism is that there is no works council to date. Among other things, they demand that wages for technicians, firefighters, engineers and other professional groups be increased.
